Diamondbacks earn 1st DH sweep on road since 2006

 

DENVER (AP) — Paul Goldschmidt homered and Robbie Ray threw six strong innings in a spot start, helping the Arizona Diamondbacks complete their first doubleheader road sweep since 2006 with a 5-1 victory over the scuffling Colorado Rockies on Wednesday night.

In the opening game, Aaron Hill tied a career high with four RBIs, including a three-run homer, as the Diamondbacks breezed to a 13-7 win.

Rain postponed the first two games of the series. A light drizzle fell during the second game with lightning flashes creeping closer and closer.

Ray (1-0), who allowed five hits and one run, will be sent right back to Triple-A Reno after the game.

Jordan Lyles (2-3) allowed four runs in seven innings as the Rockies dropped their seventh straight.
